Corey’s Digs - “Within the web lies the truth.” – Corey Lynn


Corey’s Digs was created by Investigative Journalist Corey Lynn for the purpose of digging for truth in a world where nothing is as it seems, then connecting the dots and presenting her findings to you.

Corey focuses on larger webs and nests, and areas that are seldom covered by mainstream media. She exposes operations, oftentimes with detailed timelines, maps, and documentation to provide the full scope of what may be transpiring, and she always cites sources with links to back it up.

A message from Corey:

We have been spoonfed twisted narratives and deep forms of manipulation for centuries. Yes, centuries. It was much more difficult to seek out the truth long ago, but we live in an age where endless amounts of information is right at our fingertips. There is no longer an excuse to live in fantasy land, turning a blind eye to the destruction happening all around us, and hoping maybe things will get better one day...https://www.coreysdigs.com/

 Early on, Mera started to slide and Wargowsky was able to catch her and save her from what could've been a dangerous fall. When the team moved to camp two at around 21,000 feet, they were sidelined there for four days because of bad weather. Mera stayed with Wargowsky, who shared his tent and his food with the pup.

"I split all my meals with her 50/50 so we both lost weight," he says. He guesses the scruffy brown-and-tan stray weighed probably 45 pounds to start with but lost maybe five or 10 pounds during the trip. Wargowsky says Mera looked like a combination of a Tibetan mastiff and a Nepali sheepdog.
Wargowsky was impressed with how well Mera navigated the snow and ice and handled the cold.

"She did very very well like 98 percent of the time. There were certain slopes very early in the morning or late at night when the snow was very crusty and icy when it was very slippery and you could see her kind of struggle with it," he says. "Her paws got beat up and it was hard to see her paws bleeding a little. But everything healed up that evening and it was all superficial."

He says it was also hard to believe she didn't go snow-blind. The humans were all wearing expensive glacier goggles while she trotted along with no protection...https://www.mnn.com/family/pets/stories/stray-dog-climbed-highest-elevation-nepal

Charlie Daniels: World’s Thermostat Is in the Creator’s Hand – Always Has Been, and Always Will Be

By Charlie Daniels

 I come from a long line of farmers and timber people, folks who made their living from what grew out of the ground, men who had a great and abiding respect for the soil and water – who harvested the timber with an eye on selective cutting, for leaving seed trees to replenish the woodlands, for never leaving the dead trimmings next to a standing tree to keep the bugs who attack dead wood from going into a live tree and killing it...https://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/charlie-daniels/charlie-daniels-worlds-thermostat-creators-hand-always-has-been-and

Mike Trout is on the verge of becoming baseball's first half-billion dollar man.

Trout and the Los Angeles Angels are close to finalizing a 12-year, $432 million US contract that would shatter the record for the largest deal in North American sports history, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.

The deal was disclosed Tuesday by a person familiar with the negotiations who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the agreement had not been finalized. The contract was likely to be announced by the end of this week, the person said...https://www.cbc.ca/sports/baseball/mlb/mike-trout-contract-extension-angels-mlb-1.5062440

Menominee Tribe in US Fights to Defend Sacred Site From Mining by Canada Company


MILWAUKEE (Sputnik)

The plans of Canada’s exploration company to mine gold, zink, copper and other minerals in the US Midwest region threatens sacred sites of the Menominee Indian Tribe and the Great Lakes’ ecosystem, tribe Chairman Gary Besaw told Sputnik.

Besaw came to the Annual Convention of the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) in Wisconsin to attract the public’s attention to the issue of the US federal government breaking its obligations and promises to the tribe.

"The Canadian company [Aquila Resources Inc.’s] is looking at developing a mine on the interstate boundary river between the states of Wisconsin and upper Michigan. They are looking at doing it on the upper Michigan side of the river," Besaw said. "The footprint of that mine is on ancestral Menominee burial sites, mounds, raised garden beds. There is a whole village seen there, and this proposed mine would destroy them. This area is up near our tribal nation's creation story."...https://sputniknews.com/us/201710201058416930-menominee-tribe-besaw-us-ncai/

When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below) Artist Johnny Horton

Photographing Wildlife at Rattray Marsh Conservation Area




Photo: Karen Allin
 
"...In spring and fall, the marsh is a great spot to see migratory birds, and in summer some of the many birds you may see include blue herons, great egrets, turkey vultures and the Cooper’s hawk, as well as Baltimore orioles, wood ducks and belted kingfishers. (Don’t miss these great Canadian bird stories.) The barred owl, great horned owl, hairy woodpecker and downy woodpecker are year-round residents. Occasionally, I see other critters such as minks, muskrats, snapping turtles and coyotes. My favourite animals to photograph, however, are deer..."Con't reading, more photos and links here: https://www.readersdigest.ca/travel/canada/rattray-marsh/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=rd_ourcanada&_cmp=OurCanadaCEM&_ebid=OurCanadaCEM3/14/2019&_mid=269113&ehid=E7EBF48E26DE0A6FA55A56B74D84792B5AD69129

How much longer will the middle class politely tolerate its own destruction?

 A middle class that outnumbers the combined poor and aristocracy is a relatively new phenomenon, dating back to around 1900. The rise of the middle class was the result of Industrial Revolution capitalism. It has been one of the most significant and epochal developments in history, yet the intellectual reaction for the most part has been to either ignore it or treat it with disdain. Now the project to destroy the middle class is well under way, with unpredictable and uncontrollable consequences that promise to be just as epochal as its creation....https://straightlinelogic.com/2019/03/08/the-experiment-by-robert-gore/

Gary Morris, 78, was shot to death in Mexico on Feb. 1. Despite the homicide rate, Canadians are not turning their backs on visiting the troubled nation. 

Gary Morris died in a dusty Mexican alley not far from his winter home.

The 78-year-old Newmarket man was shot three times Feb. 1 in what appears to be an attempted robbery by killers unknown.

His wallet and identification were still in his possession when he died. There have been no arrests.
Mexico is so awash in bloodshed that unless it’s a slam dunk, cops simply move on to the next corpse.

“He was very pleasant,” Calgarian John Sproat told Yorkregion.com.“Everybody was shaken, but people seemed to have settled down. We think it was more of a one-off, we don’t think it was targeted.”...https://thestarphoenix.com/news/world/holiday-in-hell-mexico-one-of-the-most-dangerous-places/wcm/d1f9fa41-6450-4a4d-9e89-0fdd67ae55c1

Saving endangered species in Canada missing proper Indigenous input: study

Endangered northern leopard frogs, native to British Columbia, are at risk of being pushed out by voracious bullfrogs, an invasive species that experts say is one of many that puts native Canadian plants and animals at risk. (Calgary Zoo/Canadian Press) 

When it comes to taking care of the land we live on, you really have to wonder why so many of the rest of us don’t listen to the people who have been living on it for thousands of years.
Indigenous people own or manage at least a quarter of the world’s land surface really do appear to know what they are doing ... Read here: http://www.rcinet.ca/en/2019/02/21/saving-endangered-species-in-canada-missing-proper-indigenous-input-study/

A family couldn't pay the bills, so the city took their dog and sold it on eBay

The family could not pay its debts, so their German town council went looking for assets to seize.
Officials, armed with a search warrant, found a laptop, a coffee machine and the wheelchair of one family member, according to reporting from the German publication Die Glocke.

Most valuable of all, though, was the family’s beloved pet — Edda the pug.
The 1-year-old female dog was valuable to the family, of course, because she had provided comfort in trying times, they told local media. But she was valuable to town officials, too, because Edda was a purebred. So authorities from Ahlen, a town 25 miles southwest of Munster, seized the pug and assessed her value at $850.

Then they listed her for sale on eBay...https://thestarphoenix.com/news/world/a-family-couldnt-pay-the-bills-so-the-city-took-their-dog-and-sold-it-on-ebay/wcm/48462728-7ff8-4b99-bce2-afe8b7b6ce73
